...weeks ago, DAS officials announced to a group of SDS demonstrators that they would not release their internal reports on the grounds that such memoranda are generally the right of any self-respecting agency. "The same situation obtains for any organization in or outside Harvard, whether it be an undergraduate House, the Dean's office or an underground newspaper," a printed statement said.

The memorandum also stated that "All members of the Harvard community are free to see these materials whether catalogued or uncatalogued...
...CRIMSON photographer Robert Bluhm and SDS member Robert Mathews reaffirm that my account of the confrontation is basically correct. Because of the widespread confusion and shouting, it is quite likely that Mr. Gordon and I should disagree with the exact timing of the accusations made at the confrontation. I reported the event as I saw it happen at the time...
